So that's good -- one should feel that way. Life and meditation should not be separate things... one ongoing process.
And it is possible that heat can bring people to a low energy level. But sometimes many things happen when people are on a low energy level, so there is nothing to be depressed about. Use all opportunities.
For example if a person is on a high energy level, then he will have more tendency towards anger. The same mood on a low energy level will have a tendency to become more sad; not anger, but sadness. This too is good to know -- that sadness is low energy anger, and anger is high energy sadness.
